The female Needle Tree Person, Lux, could be considered a remarkable figure.
However, this exchange with the White-robed Gandalf greatly benefited her.
Especially the thoughts on humanism; her naturally peace-loving nature found much to talk about with the White-robed Gandalf.
She even thought that the old man was a bit handso.
Unfortunately, they were of different races.
Even if they could be together, it would be difficult to have offspring, not to ntion that Lux had a small family behind her, and she was the matriarch. It was impossible for her to be with soone else.
"Alas."
Thinking of this, Lux couldn't help but sigh.
What a wonderful relationship...
And it's just gone like that!
…
Among the trees, Lin Ke noticed Lux looking at him with increasingly strange eyes, growing more and more lancholy, as if she were a spinster.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lady Lux, is there sothing you need?"
This inexplicable look, did he blow his cover? Was he recognized?
But even if he was recognized, it shouldn't be this kind of look!
Moreover, he didn't know Lux, nor did he know many Needle Tree People, as this race preferred humid and hot environnts, not like that of Great Wilderness City.
"No, nothing." Lux's gaze held a mix of lancholy, lant, sorrow, and a hint of affection.
Hmm, wait?
Lin Ke widened his eyes, doubting his own judgnt.
Did he actually see "affection" in this old lady Lux's eyes?!
"Let's leave it at that..." Lux turned decisively, then looked at the priest from so god behind her: "High Priest Feiche, please teleport us back."
"Sure, Lady Lux." A priest from the Needle Tree People nodded, imdiately raised his arms, and his eyes emitted white light, summoning a pale green beam of light from the stars where they ca from high above.
Everyone from the Holy Life Alliance stepped into it to be transported back to a god's Divine Kingdom.
Lux was the last to look back longingly and regretfully at Lin Ke, each tree line on her Needle Tree body telling a story of sorrow and farewell like the wrinkles on an old lady's face.
As if she were seeing Lin Ke for the last ti; after looking, she sighed lightly before stepping into the light beam and disappearing.
Lin Ke: ???
No, Lady Lux, what's going on with you? Give an explanation?!
What's with that look of seeing soone for the last ti?
Are you planning to kill ?
That was entirely the look one gives to a dying person, for goodness' sake!
Lin Ke just felt baffled, what was up with this old Needle Tree Person?
Could it be soone like [Astrologer] Derbius had divined his fate?
Lin Ke considered it seriously, not ruling out this possibility.
It seems he must act cautiously later; the highly autonomous Holy Life Alliance is indeed the best breach to attack Naseng on the Main Plane... Lin Ke decided to adopt another identity shortly, no longer appearing here as Gandalf.
Most of the onlookers from the Holy Life Alliance were already gone by this ti.
After three days of discussion, nothing exciting erged, so those bystanders left early.
Those who remained weren't many, as most of the intelligent lives of the Holy Life Alliance just hung around to spectate, but still needed to return to hunting, raising offspring, and warring.
Lin Ke looked at the departing mbers of the Holy Life Alliance, including bystanders, and couldn't help but smile a little.
That Lady Lux's understanding of human rights wasn't bad, maybe she could be invited to Great Wilderness University as a lecturer?
Also, Lin Ke greatly changed his view on the wise beings of the Holy Life Alliance today.
Maybe it's just those two at the top that are rotten?
Hmm, maybe not only them.
Lin Ke has always tried to avoid defining a person, let alone a race or a nation by labels or stereotypes.
Hence, Lin Ke convinced himself that if one day the Holy Life is to perish, the people of the Holy Life Alliance must be given a better life, yes, a better life.
Thinking this, Lin Ke was just about to leave stealthily when he saw his childhood enemy from the Eternal Freeze Court, Rola, approaching.
"Honorable Inspector Gandalf, hello." Rola's face was full of wrinkles, just as old and tough as Lux's bark.
Lin Ke squinted his eyes and smiled, "Hello, Miss Rola, is there sothing you need?"
"Inspector, are you planning to return now?" Rola smiled obsequiously, nodding and bowing.
"Yes, planning to go back, do you have any business?" Lin Ke asked again, with a cold and indifferent attitude.
Although he wouldn't take revenge for childhood grudges now, there wouldn't be a friendly expression either.
Besides, he could roughly guess the reason why Rola ca to him, probably to establish connections or sothing.
"Nothing, nothing, I just want to make acquaintances with Inspector." Rola seed oblivious to Lin Ke's indifference, her face brimming with a smile like a chrysanthemum: "Inspector, may I ask if you will be joining the Naseng Common Accord Execution Organization in the future?"
The Naseng Common Accord Execution Organization!
This execution organization is essentially the group responsible for executing the Naseng Common Accord.
The main purpose of this organization is to inspect and adjudicate, and relay the relevant situations and outcos to the departnts of the three major forces concerned.
For instance, when Lin Ke was a child, Ove almost destroyed Parrot City, Rola at the ti happened to be inspecting around the south of the Black and White Kingdom, so she was transferred over to investigate.
There's no choice, to prevent collusion, Insomnia Emperor had stipulated with Sun God and the chief of the Eternal Freeze Court that inspectors must be from different forces.
So Rola went to Azaenn Castle.
For Rola at that ti, going to Azaenn Castle was like a departnt head from a big city like Beijing or Shanghai traveling to a remote border town under a local county, even the roads unpaved.
Underdeveloped, remote, countryside.
These adjectives could only slightly encapsulate Rola's feelings about Azanen.
And back then, Lin Ke to her was just a small rural noble easy to manipulate.
If it weren't for Ove, Lin Ke would probably have been in danger at that ti.
Within the Execution Organization of the Naseng Common Accord, people from the Black and White Kingdom would go to the Holy Life Alliance, and from there they'd proceed to the Eternal Freeze Court.
Lin Ke now was an inspector, and Rola figured that with Lin Ke possibly joining this Execution Organization in the future, she should establish good relations early?
Keep in mind, Rola also had a family behind her!
In Rola's view, this "White-robed Gandalf" had the trust of the Insomnia Emperor, and if he entered the Execution Organization, he would likely have considerable power.
So she needed to curry favor early!
